Generation of Metastatic Cholangiocarcinoma Patient-Derived Xenograft Models.
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) poses a substantial clinical hurdle as it is often detected at advanced metastatic stages with limited therapeutic options. To enhance our understanding of advanced CCA, it is imperative to establish preclinical models that faithfully recapitulate the disease's characteristics. Patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models have emerged as a valuable approach in cancer research, offering an avenue to reproduce and study the genomic, histologic, and molecular features of the original human tumors. By faithfully preserving the heterogeneity, microenvironmental interactions, and drug responses observed in human tumors, PDX models serve as highly relevant and predictive preclinical tools. Here, we present a comprehensive protocol that outlines the step-by-step process of generating and maintaining PDX models using biopsy samples from patients with advanced metastatic CCA. The protocol encompasses crucial aspects such as tissue processing, xenograft transplantation, and subsequent monitoring of the PDX models. By employing this protocol, we aim to establish a robust collection of PDX models that accurately reflect the genomic landscape, histologic diversity, and therapeutic responses observed in advanced CCA, thereby enabling improved translational research, drug development, and personalized treatment strategies for patients facing this challenging disease.
